Yes.... but somehow the boards ended up getting "cut" at different angles!

That was my very very first clue that I had solid evidence that it was
a hoax.  That, and the amateur explanation of the corolois effect ("it
happnes only here!"  NOT!), and the way I was pushed from my
straight-on angle to take a picture "from the side over there... it
looks better".  Of course.  That's the illusion.  Oh yeah, and the
warning that "planes avoid flying over the area, because it messes
with their compass".  Funny... my sectional's not marked there at all,
and no NOTAMs either.  :-)

Anyway, you pays yer money and you takes yer chances.  It's a magic
act.  I can only hope that the operators know it's a magic act, and
don't start believing it themselves.

Just another closet magician,
